HASP; 1

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. OLSON, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Swift Current, in the'P'rovince of Saskatchewan,and Dominion of Canada,1 have invented certam new and usefulImprovements in Hasps, of which the follow ing is a specification, p

=This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hasps,'theprimary object I of the invention beingto provide adouble locktherefor, whereby the closure to which the hasp is appliedmay besecurely retained in a closed position; 1 Another object of theinvention is to provide a hasp including a plurality of hingedlyconnected sections, whereby they may execute proper'movement to beassociated with a locking element. I

Another object of the inventionis to provide a locking element havingmeans to engage the hasp at two points whereby the latter may besecurely retained in alocked.

position.

Still another important object of the inventi'on is to provide a devicecomprising in combination, a hasp and a pair of locking members adaptedfor eitherjoint or sepa rate cooperation with the hasp whereby. the haspmay be locked or merely engaged by I oneof the locking members fortemporarily hooking the hasp, for example, similar to the well knownhook and eyeleth Other objects and advantages of the invention willbecome apparent during the staple 18 which is adapted tov extend throughthe slot 16 ofthe hasp'when'the latter is swung to a locked position.-The course of the following description.

In the accompanyingidrawings forming a part of the application andwherein like Fig. 3 is a side elevation of myfimproved hasp, and

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of my improved locking element.

Referring to the drawings wherein Y for the purpose of illustration isshown thepreferred embodiment of. the invention, the numeral 5designates a portion of a door, in the present instance, the free edgeof which is adapted to abut with a door frame 6.

My improved hasp in the presentinstance Specification of Letters Patent.I PatenteclMay 10, 19 21. a eas filed June 11, 1920. Serial No. 388,100.I

is'illustrated as consisting of three sections pivotally connectedtogether, one endsection 7 forming an anchor plate and, adapted to besecured to a doorframe, an intermediate section'S and an end lockingplate orsection 9. The anchorsection 7 .is equipped with a plurality ofapertures whereby screws may extend therethroug'h for, securingthe plateto the door frame. The contiguous ends of the sections are formed with,the well known, knuckles 10' and pintles llextenol through thecooperating knuckles for hinglng the sections together.

It is to be particularly noted that the end of the section. 8 adjacent.the locking section 9 is provided with a pair of spaced knuckles 12 andthe cut out portion 13 betweenthese knuckles is extended fartherinwardly of the intermediate plate 8, than usual, so that when thelmuckle 1a of the locking plate is 1. disposed in lts cooperativeposition between j the knuckles 12, a slot or a )erture 15 is providedin the plate8, as the nuckle 14 of the locking plate closes the open endof the cut out portion-l3. The usual elongated slot or aperture 16 isprovided in the locking plate 9 adjacent its free end forthe well knownpurpose. Due tothe hinging of the hasp sections, it will be apparentthat the sections 8 and,9 are. capable ofmoving outwardlyof the doorframe 6. A lOckingele ment or 'platel7 is secured to thejdoor in the 1well known manner andthe end of the locking element remotefrom the doorframe is provided with the-well known form of opposite end of. thelocking/element is equipped with a laterally projecting curved extension19, the s free 'end' of which is b adapted to extend through theopeningor 1 aperture 15 in the intermediatehasp'section and overlap a portionof the hinge connection between thesections 8 and'9 when the hasp isdisposed in a locked position. In

thismanner, it will be apparent that the locking plate" 9 is locked inengagement with the door atftwo points, one being ad-.

whereby the device will occupy a minimum amount of ;space. when beingshipped or stored; In cases whereitis merely desired to hook the, door,instead of 'locking'it, the locking plate 9 may be usedas a handle for,engagingthehook 19 with the opening 15 in the intermediate plate orsection, sothat it is'not necessaryto cause the staple 18 to passthrough the locking plate 91 and use a .padlock for fastening, the door,It will therefore be obvious that the locking mem-: bers maybe usedeither jointly for locking 1 the door 'or' separately for: merelyhooking the door in a closed position.
